Goodbye Gandini | Father of the Supercar

Today, we pay homage to the legendary Marcello Gandini, the mastermind behind some of the most iconic supercars in automotive history. Gandini, the father of the supercar, left us at the age of 85 on March 13th, 2024. His visionary designs, including the Lamborghini Countach and Miura, have left an indelible mark on the car world and continue to inspire generations of designers and car enthusiasts alike.
In this video, we explore Gandini's incredible journey from his early days in Turin, Italy, to his rise as one of the most influential car designers of the 20th century. Discover the story behind his most famous creations, from the Miura, recognized as the first supercar, to the Countach, which redefined the concept of what a supercar could be with its radical design and groundbreaking features.
Join us as we delve into the illustrious career of Marcello Gandini, exploring his contributions to brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Lancia, and more. We'll also take a closer look at his lesser-known yet equally fascinating projects, including the Alfa Romeo Montreal, the Dino 308 GT4, the Lancia Stratos, and his forward-thinking concept cars that showcased his revolutionary 'wedge design' philosophy.
Gandini's legacy is not just in the breathtaking cars he designed but in his ability to push the boundaries of automotive design. His influence is seen in the sharp, angular lines and innovative concepts that have become hallmarks of the supercar genre.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Gandini's work or discovering his genius for the first time, this tribute is a celebration of his life, his art, and his enduring impact on the world of automotive design.

So that's where the TR 7 got its wedge design! What a brilliant imaginative designer. Thanks for bringing light on His legacy.

[@simonelliott5956]

A true genius, a sad loss to the automotive world.

[@PlayApps2Day]

Beautiful looking cars, miss the wedge design compared to the current three box design. May he RIP. 🙏

[@henryhol8538]

Its hard to choose which one of his designs are the best. The two that mean a lot to me are not quite his most beautiful creations, they are the Alfa Romeo Montreol and the Ferrari 308GT4. May his soul rest in peace.🙏🏾

Very well done, Shahzad! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was waiting patiently for your blurb on the Fiat X1/9 As I have two in my stable (in 1974 and a 1981). You’re very likeable and I like your cheerfulness hence why I subscribed twice to your channel with two of my accounts. Keep up the good work, sir!

Great video, excellent visual and factual content in a short space of time, thank you! Marcello Gandini was the Albert Einstein of car design, he revolutionised our perception of the automotive universe.
